I love their regal/historical names for the colts and the simple names for the fillies. Up, Was, Twirl, Found, etc.

Yeah, I love those too, not just with Coolmore. Like Cavorting and Enable.

I’m also a big fan of the State-Narrate-Preach-Yarn family name line. State was out of Monarchy and State also has some progeny that were named “Realm”, “County”, and “Territory” to go with that theme.

And then there’s Flatter, Congrats, Tout, Revere, Hip Hip, Commend, and Homage all being out of Praise (who was out of Wild Applause).

Admissible > Forensics > Prove It. Demolition > Shatters > Smash > Destruct. Fake > Plagiarize > Emulate. Ghostly > Seances > Spirit > Star Aura. etc. etc.

As opposed to their UK or North American naming process, which has a lot of clever phrases (usually Saeed bin Suroor's charges, as he gets to name his 2 year olds) or Arabic words - still good names, but a different style.

He won on his debut 2000m turf at Nakayama Newcomer while demonstrating his raw talent on Dec 2nd 2018. But it was scary..
His jockey William Buick commented; ''He is a big baby with big talent. I felt like I rode Orfevre. As I leave from Japan, I don't know who will ride him next. But it won't be so easy.''
